Access Issue: ACCESS ISSUE* - PULLOUT PARKING CLOSURE
Details
Per A Lee: *ACCESS ISSUE* - PULLOUT PARKING CLOSURE
The parking lot off Hwy 41G used to be the established point of access to the main canyon, but it is now closed. On 5/31/2020, an access issue arose due to the lot being overcrowded with ~7 vehicles. Saguache County Sheriff was called by the landowners, and the climbers were asked to leave the canyon. Climbers should park at the Penitente Main Canyon and hike in, or park at the established BLM parking lot 1 mile West on 41G and hike the road.
The SLV Climbers Alliance, with support from the Access Fund, is navigating this access issue. Contact slvclimb.org for questions or status reports, or join the Facebook Group "San Luis Valley Climbers Alliance" for the latest updates.

Description
This is a really nice climb, that deserves more traffic. Take a line of edges and pockets past the initial face into a scoop. The scoop is a nice place to take a breath before tip toeing up to the lightly pocketed wall above.
Location
This is located a dozen routes or so to the right of Ligneous Embracer, just right of Penal Code (12c). It is just on the right side of a rounded bulge, giving it shade in early afternoon, unlike a few of its neighbors to the left. Ascend from bushes up a initially broken face into pockets, up into a scoop, and finally through a pocketed wall to a horizontal crack just below the lip and anchors.
